Paul Kapsar, RN, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC has more than 50 years experience in healthcare starting as a hospital orderly, moving to RN, in 1977, BSN, with minor in philosophy, in 1992, followed by a Masters In Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 1999. Paul maintains ANCC Board Certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner.
His career includes experience as a staff nurse, nurse manager, emergency preparedness and management, reserve military nurse officer, hospital information systems manager, university nursing instructor, author, educator, jail health administration, full-time Family Practice Nurse Practitioner in a variety of settings including emergency department, internal medicine, hospice, addiction, pain recovery, and of course entrepreneur.
During this journey he noticed the challenging state of healthcare provision. This led to the development of a system as to how health and wellness should be delivered. He innately understood that there was more to care than the physical.
His belief has distilled into:
- Treating the person not the problem
- Treat the whole person - a holistic view of health.
- The role is not to "make you better" but work with you to create a plan of care that allows - actually expects - YOU to take a very active part in creating the health path that best meets your needs and life goals.
- To provide you as a person with the tools to improve your health and your healthcare practice within your own belief system.
- To be responsive to the needs of you as a unique person.
- To provide sound and clinically relevant educational experiences.
- To allow you to safely discuss all aspects of your lifestyle and activities respectfully to ensure all aspects of a significant importance to your overall health and well-being are brought out and included in your health path planning.
Out of this belief comes the current understanding that one person or care system is not likely to be enough to lead to the highest and best healthcare process for everyone.
Joined into the system was Kelly Kapsar, LMT. She uses Craniosacral and massage therapy, Aquastretch, meditation, and energy work to assist our mutual patients.
